Description: Note: This package was uploaded on 11 June, 2018 as a separate model package to lessen confusion with the many variants of the Blenheim model series. Accordingly, this is the "single gun" model of the MkI.

Twin-engined aircraft designed before the war as fast. light bomber, unfortunately when war broke out fighter technology had overtaken the Blenheim leaving it at the mercy of enemy a/c. In the absence of better aircraft it had to soldier on for some years until replaced. Blenheims served with several air forces and in the European, Middle Eastern and Far Eastern theatres of war.

Baldy,

I hope you don't mind, but the model variations were getting very confusing, so I took the liberty of separating them out, and uploaded the packages. If you want to change the screenshots so they match appropriately, post new screenies in this thread and I will make the appropriate adjustments.

(Don't worry about the space, we have plenty)

I also made an adjustment to the MISC_DATA section in the MkIV model, the entries were done in another unit of measure other than km/h and meters.
 
Blenheim variations

Hi Rami

I think you did the right thing - even me and Uncle were getting in a bit of a twist - guess we got carried away with trying to offer all the variations

here are pics of the three models of the MkIV bomber showing the different turret arrangements

Description: Baldy Bristol Bolingbroke by UncleTgt

This is an approximation of the Bristol Bolingbroke, making use of Baldy's latest Blenheim Mk. IV (No chin guns) model for CFS 2. This is a complete aircraft.

A new airfile has been developed & the dp file uses weapons from Padbury's Battle/Defiant, PStrany's Hudson, Bismark 13's Beaufighter packages, as well as Shessi's Brit 250lb DC.

The 2D panel has been tweaked & is now WIN 7 friendly.

The dp file also makes use of kelticheart's exhaust effects.

The texture offered is: 10000 5th Bombing & Gunnery School, Dafoe, Saskatchewan.

To install, unzip the download to a temporary location & move/ copy files to the matching folder names inside your chosen CFS 2 install.

Thanks to: Baldy for a great series of aircraft models.

This is freeware and subject to the usual conditions.

Thank you once again Baldy and UncleTgt! These birds are near perfect!!!

Here is a comparison of the frame rates I get with the new Blenheim versus Thicko's model and stock B-25D. Of course the new one hits frame rate harder than the stock B-25D, but it is a great improvement over Thicko's Blenheim.
